Within the last decade, FDM 3D printers have transformed from expensive, industrial machines, and become cheap 3D printers you can fit on your desktop and print with ease for just a few ... Read more
What do you think the leading cause of death in the USA is? Here’s a clue, it’s not cancer. That dark accolade instead goes to heart disease and cardiovascular problems, fueled by ... Read more
Stereolithography (SLA), Digital Light Processing (DLP), and LCD are three very similar resin 3D printing technologies. They all use photopolymer resins in a resin tank, and cure the resin to form solid ... Read more
FDM 3D printers have existed since the late 1980s, but only in the last decade have become affordable 3D printer options for the everyday maker. Unbeknownst to most, there are 4 different ... Read more
A 3D printer’s nozzle is the part that plastic filament passes through to be deposited onto the print bed, forming your part. For such a small part, the nozzle has a huge ... Read more
A 3D printer hot end makes up part of the extruder, probably the single most important part of an FDM 3D printer. The hot end melts plastic filaments that are then deposited ... Read more
Fused deposition modeling is the most common 3D printing technology due to the vast numbers of cheap 3D printers and low cost filaments available. The 3D printer extruder plays a major part ... Read more
They’re here, and shaking up how we view and prepare food. Food 3D printers are usually hybrid FDM 3D printers that print food pastes rather than plastic filaments, printing delicious chocolate, jam ... Read more
Within the last year, cheap LCD 3D printers have completely changed how we perceive resin 3D printing. Once considered a more industrial 3D printing technology costing thousands of dollars for an entry-level ... Read more
Pioneered by HP, one of the most valuable 3D printing companies, and boasting performance numbers never previously seen in 3D printing, it’s no wonder Multi Jet Fusion has been adopted so quickly. ... Read more
Fused deposition modeling (FDM) and Stereolithograpy (SLA) are two of the most commonly used and well-known 3D printing technologies. But which is better? This guide is also part of our FREE 3D ... Read more
